I have tried
sed 's/<GroupingKey>.*<\/GroupingKey>/<GroupingKey>......1...<\/GroupingKey>/g'
and
sed 's/<GroupingKey>............<\/GroupingKey>/<GroupingKey>......1...<\/GroupingKey>/g'
However the .... in the replace did not work as I was hoping it might. I end up getting
<Grouping id="024"><Source>ABC</Source><GroupingKey>......1...</GroupingKey></Grouping> and the rest of the file was file was gone outside of the Parent open and close tags.
